VPN is a must in the US as of yesterday as everyone above has been saying.
I recommend Private Inernet Accesshttps://www.privateinternetaccess.com/
Only $40 a year and they store no logs, so if a court for some resson ordered them to identify a customer who downloaded something they would be unable to do so.

this needs to play out a bit before people start freaking out. chances are, anyone who has been mildly intelligent about the way they conduct themselves online won't have anything to fear. there has also been some pushback in both congress (and among state officials) and among various industry figures (just look at how long this took to roll out... it is months late as is). who knows what will happen or how extensive it will be.

that said, a VPN is a really easy way to limit any potential issues severely. use one that doesn't keep logs. if you are really paranoid, pay in bitcoins. it is incredibly easy to set up, and provides other benefits as well. my motivation for purchasing VPN had nothing to do with torrenting or the like...

You have a point--unless you're downloading from public torrent sites like TPB you're probably not going to get "caught". And yea, maybe it's an overreaction to say everyone needs to use a VPN now. However, it was more of a last straw for me. I despise that the NSA spies on all internet traffic--and now this, and apparently CISPA is rearing it's ugly head again. With all these different groups of people now trying to spy on my internet traffic and invade my privacy, I want to at least make it harder for them and take my privacy back.

Hmmm, ok, gonna check it out. But with TPB for example, they have the ''anonymous download'' option. Is that pretty much useless with whats going to happen, or does it really work.

ultimately, i'm not comfortable installing adware on my machine, but my limited knowledge says that what they are offering there is essentially VPN, so you would probably be safe. i would recommend using ipredator (a pay service the pb folks offer) or another log-less VPN instead... 5 bucks a month is a small price to pay to not download intrusive software on your computer.

March begins tomorrow - get ready. It seems like every band and their mother are releasing an album in April (and especially several Coachella bands), so I expect March to be pretty relentless as far as leaks go.

When someone grabs one of the proper How to destroy angels' rips on ??? would you mind grouping it? Only getting webrip versions from the links I've found. Thanks. Just kidding. got it.
And Ive heard good things about that Jimi release. Gotta check it out.
